Athens Quinta

Stayed here a year ago, really liked the vibe before so decided to return here when visiting Athens, spent 5 nights here this time, and to be fair - now I didn’t like it here that much. Btw only on last day I saw reviews about bed bugs, well didn’t see any and had no bites, so maybe it’s fixed? But this issue can be the reason that hostel is basically empty all this time, and was very full a year ago at that time… Main issue - there is a line where old-school furniture and style turns into some form of just being unkempt, and this hostel is crossing jt basically. Some lockers are basically not locking themselves, entrance door doesn’t close itself if you don’t pull it enough (like several times when i returned from a walk I realized door is not locked…), courtyard in such a shape that you don’t wanna sit there. There is no shower spray hold in the shower and seat is missing in a toilet. So you see, a lot of stuff is just unkempt. Then 95% of the time there is nobody from administration in hostel, you are by yourself, didn’t like that, also they don’t answer the messages at all basically. It seems they visit once a day for an hour or two and that’s it heh. Then internet - I don’t understand how can it be this bad in 2025, borderline unusable very often, will attach the abysmal speedtest photo. Breakfast is just a word here - nothing fresh is provided, basically only some old crackers, cereal and cheap coffee thing to brew it. Never even had the desire to eat anything there… Linens are quite old, you can feel it. Beds are also not modern in any sense, the cheapest two-layered bed you can imagine. The style and vibes are still here, but it’s like owners started to give up on keeping it in a good shape, and that’s a shame. I hope it will become better, coz now it’s kinda downhill it seems. Owners pls start to keep it together aight?

Bed Bugs and no kind of cooperation for refund! After my first night, we noticed that there were bed bugs in my room. The staff was nice, but really uncooperative. I booked many days and tried to agree on a refund of some kind, because I needed to book a different hostel now, but nothing was happening. They even removed their door bell now. apart from that: The beds are just regular bunk beds that offer no kind of privacy, I would highly recommend booking a more modern and much cleaner hostel like "When in athens"(10/10) or "retroverse"(9/10)

Awful bed bugs and the staff are completely apathetic towards the issue. I have contacted them multiple times about it with no response, meanwhile I am covered in swollen, red welts. This complete and total disregard for health as safety is shameful and made our time in Athens unpleasant. As other reviewers are saying, in addition to the infestation, breakfast is shabby, the beds are rickety, and the staff are vapid, rarely present, and inefficient. Unsurprisingly, they responded to none of the emails I sent them about our check in time or their pest problem, but were very quick to email me demanding I pay (we had “checked in” as soon as they opened its 9 in the morning, but apparently the appropriate staff member to process payment was not present and would not be except between noon and 7:30pm, so we carried on with our day).

BEWARE: BED BUGS!! This hostel is super cute and cozy. I was super excited to stay here, but was quickly let down. Breakfast is pretty much non-existent. Bedding had holes in it, they were like rags. My friend and I got bed bugs staying here. :( The staff pretended they had never had this issue before and were not very helpful or responsive. They wouldn't give us a refund or any compensation. We had to spend so much money and time washing our clothes and had to relocate to a new accommodation. Based on all of the reviews, they clearly have a major bed bug problem and are ignoring it. So disgusting!!

BED BUGS BED BUGS BED BUGS BED BUGS BED BUGS BED BUGS BED BUGS BED BUGS BED BUGS Severe Bed Bug Infestation and Bites suffered by multiple if not all people staying at the hostel. All over my body, neck both hands, wrists, arms, legs, feet, shoulders and chest, stomach and back. Horrible pain. What is disgusting is that the hostel and its staff fully know of this BED BUG INFESTATION but ignore and do nothing and continue to put health of guests in danger.
